Cat

Cats are not cold—they’re comets trailing kindness, As affectionate as stars that never stray from sky, Through Ginger’s emerald eyes, tenderness thrives.

Sis this is the most beautiful cat poem iv ever read! Wow! You have a way with words that makes me stop in awe and in admiration of your poetic skills! I really love the way you’ve especially written “Cats are not cold—they’re comets trailing kindness,” exactly what i hear from most cat lovers haha! I see you have written on ginger in this! Does ginger have green eyes? I never noticed. Or is it kust a metaphorical saying! You delivered a beautiful acrostic! Pleasure reading! Best wishes! Sending you light always

Sis, thank you so much! So glad the comet line hit home—it’s one of my faves too. And yes, my sweet Ginger boy and his brother Mr. Pretty both have green eyes, though the line has a double meaning. At this rate, I’ll have a whole book of limericks and haikus about my fur babies—haha! Your support means the world. If I had a pound for every “wow” I’ve said reading your work… rich!
